Know your dairy terms

A quick primer

Homogenization — This modern process breaks milk fat molecules into smaller particles so they are suspended uniformly in the fluid, rather than float to the surface. Old-fashioned "cream top" milk and yogurt are not homogenized.

Ultra-pasteurized — Milk is heated to an ultra-high temperature (UHT) of 280° F for at least two seconds to kill bacteria and extend shelf life far beyond that of traditionally pasteurized dairy products.

Pasteurized — This term can indicate either 1) High Temperature Short Time (HTST, or standard) pasteurization, where milk is heated rapidly to at least 161.5° F or higher, for 15 seconds, or 2) "Slow" or "Vat" pasteurization, where milk is heated slowly in a vat or tank to 145° F for 30 minutes.
